iis ftp : resume upload

Hi!
I want to develop a program which resumes
upload. I wrote some code and tried to test it.

However, I saw that when connection is closed during transfer, IIS removes
the partially deleted file.

How can I prevent IIS from removing this file?

thanks

You don't say so but I'm assuming that you are using IIS5 here because
of the behaviour you are seeing, i.e the removal of the partially
uploaded files. This is because IIS5 only supports the resuming or
re-starting of downloads but not uploads. IIS6, on the other hand,
supports both.

In other words, to achieve this you will need to upgrade to IIS6.

No. IIS6 is only available as part of the Windows 2003 operating
system. The internal architecture of IIS6 is significantly different
to IIS5 and it therefore cannot be installed on Windows 2000.

Sorry to dig up this older thread, but this is the closest informatio
I've found to solving my problem.

Basically, I need to upload a large file regularly (every couple o
days) to a remote server over a 256k upload, which unsurprisingly drop
out. The remote server is a Win2003 server machine which I'm assumin
must be running IIS 6.0 . The problem is I can't get the FTP clien
(BUlletFTP) to resume the upload either manually or automatically, whe
the connection drops out it automatically tries a different filename an
if you do it manually it simply overwrites the existing partial upload.

I'm getting mixed information about whether IIS 6.0 supports this o
not, some parts of the MS site claim it can't but this thread says i
is possible. If it is possible, how do I get the resume working?

Any advice appreciated,
Joh

AFAIK, IIS 6 support both upload / download append and resume. it's the
client that need to instruct the server to do so.
